Work through each seaming technique with Katrina as you build a reference notebook of techniques you can apply to any garment. Katrina will show you the creative possibilities of vintage seaming techniques and design details with stunning inspiration samples. Learn a variety of tailored effects including topstitching, padded and welt seams, piping and double piping, strap seams, lace insertions and more. Design bold garment elements using faux tucks, prairie points and Seminole piecework. Katrina puts it all together in three renditions of the included Vogue Pattern 1329 to show you how decorative seams can transform simple garments.

Perfect

Katrina Walker is a precise and yet interesting presenter. Her wording and demos are perfectly in synch and nail the idea down every time. I love both of her classes, and watch them over and over.

Katrina is a very engaging instructor who inspires creativity. She exudes a sense of playfulness that makes me want to run into my sewing room and try new design techniques.

What's not to love about Katrina. She is an engaging and knowledgable instructor. She seems genuinely interested in teaching what she knows. And she knows her techniques well. I look forward to more classes from her.
